SSH#
Change SSH Port
> sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config # here is the port
Port xxx # set port here
ListenAddress :: # enable all ipv6
ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 # enable all ipv4
LogLevel DEBUG # change log level like INFO, DEBUG3
AllowUsers <user> # allow only this user
PermitRootLogin prohibit-password # activate to disable root
> sudo vi /etc/ssh/ssh_config # this is general
> cd /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d # check also sub configurations
> sudo systemctl status ssh # check status
> sudo service ssh restart # reload / restart
> sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart # reload / restart alternative
> sudo netstat -pantWul # check connections
Check port ranges
, Common Ports
- System/well known ports: 0-1023

Windows
> ssh 2a02:5a0:4110:f590:4670:d3e6:1234:6547 -p 123 # with custom port > ssh markus@192.168.188.76 # with username > ssh pi5backup.v6.rocks -p 31415 ipv6 fe80::7ea5:7cb2:6563:1518 # with source ipv6
Automatic updates#
> sudo apt install unattended-upgrades > sudo dpkg-reconfigure --priority=low unattended-upgrades
Brute Force Attacks#
Disable IPs on multiple failed 6 logins for 10 minutes> sudo apt-get install fail2ban > sudo vi /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf
Logging#
> sudo journalctl -b # since last boot > sudo journalctl -k | grep netfilter > sudo journalctl _COMM=sshd > sudo journalctl --vacuum-time=1d # purge, keep last day > sudo journalctl --vacuum-size=500M # purge, keep last 500MB > sudo rm -r /var/log/journal/* # if purging does not help you can erase the whole file and restart > systemctl restart systemd-journald
Restricting Access from three devices#
1. Register your home computer (Windows) at a dyndns service to provide the current ipv6, see dynv6.com#
2. Windows: create script (I use python) to set local IP at dynv6 #
import socket # determine ipv6
import re # regular expression
import urllib.request # http
dynv6_domain = "your.dynv6.domain"
dynv6_token="your.token"
local_domain = socket.gethostname()
print('Checking DynV6', dynv6_domain, 'against', local_domain)
#ipv6_regex = "^([0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}:){7,7}[0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}$"
ipv6_regex = "^([0-9a-fA-F]{1,4}:).*$"
##--- get LOCAL address ---
tupel = socket.getaddrinfo(local_domain, None, socket.AF_INET6, flags=socket.AI_CANONNAME)

if(item[4][0].startswith('2a02')):
#print("item=", item)
local_ipv6 = item[4][0]
break
local_ipv6_valid = False
if re.search(ipv6_regex, local_ipv6):
local_ipv6_valid = True
if(local_ipv6_valid == False):
print("local_ipv6=", local_ipv6, " NOT VALID")
else:
print("local_ipv6=", local_ipv6, " IS VALID")
#--- get dynV6 address ---

url = "https://dynv6.com/api/update?hostname=" + dynv6_domain + "&token=" + dynv6_token + "&ipv6=" + local_ipv6
response = urllib.request.urlopen(url).read()
print(response)
3. Windows: schedule script to run each time the PC is booted, see "Aufgabenplanung" (task scheduler)#
I scheduled this batchecho off REM set utf-8 chcp 65001 python "G:\Raspberry PI5 8GB\DynDNS\update_computer.py" echo: echo done pause
4. Raspberry: create and set iptables ruleset, see Firewall with iptables #
5. Raspberry: use python script to query the current ipv6 from dynv6 (Windows) and replace in iptables ruleset#
Notes:- package "python3-iptables" manages legacy ones only, docu1, docu2
- package "python3-nftables" manages nft tables, docu
- alternatively you can use subprocess.run to call the original system commands (easiest)
#!/usr/bin/env python
import socket # determine ipv6
import subprocess
def set_dynv6_domain_into_ipv6tables(dynv6_domain, rulenum):
try:
print('------------------------------------------------------------')
print('set dynv6 domain', dynv6_domain, 'into ip6tables at position', rulenum)
tupel = socket.getaddrinfo(dynv6_domain, None, socket.AF_INET6)
# tupel like [(<AddressFamily.AF_INET6: 23>, 0, 0, '', ('2a02:5a0:4110:f590:4670:9876:1345:ee', 8384, 0, 0))]
print("tupel=", tupel)
ipv6=tupel[0][4][0]
print(dynv6_domain + " ipv6=", ipv6)
subprocess.run(["/usr/sbin/ip6tables", "-R", "INPUT", rulenum, "-s", ipv6, "-j", "ACCEPT"])
subprocess.run(["/usr/sbin/ip6tables", "-R", "OUTPUT", rulenum, "-d", ipv6, "-j", "ACCEPT"])
except BaseException:
print('FAILED TO GET', dynv6_domain)
set_dynv6_domain_into_ipv6tables('your.dynv6.domain.no1', '1')
set_dynv6_domain_into_ipv6tables('your.dynv6.domain.no2', '2')
set_dynv6_domain_into_ipv6tables('your.dynv6.domain.no3', '3')
6. Raspberry: schedule the ipv6 update in firewall (ip6tables) via crontab#
Run every 5 minutes> sudo crontab -u root -e # anything is activated on save automatically # add following */5 * * * * /home/markus/update_ip6tables.py
